The April 2017 Peninsula Chess League tournament was held on Friday, April 21st. This was a 3-round event, time control G/15; d3 for the USCF sections, and G/18 for the unrated sections. The tournament was run as an individual Swiss tournament with 5 sections (3 USCF-rated, 2 unrated). 86 kids participated.

This was Arroyo/Central Middle's second Super Team victory. This was Bayside's first win of any kind in the PCL. Fox is the only school to have wins in all 9 PCL tournaments. PLA won the mini team prize for the 4th consecutive time. Only a miracle win by Ethan in round 3 prevented Kids Connection from winning the mini team title. If Ethan had lost, Kids Connection would have beaten both Woodland and PLA by 1 point (and Brewer Island by 3 points).
